SEALED-nomas Pennine-srou'r ron cans. ,v

a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Brooklyn, New York, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sealed-Nozzle Pouring-Spouts for Cans, of which the followingis a specification. v

This invention relates to an improvement in sealed nozzle pouring spouts for cans, and it consists in the novel devices and combinations of parts and devices hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a top vview of the improved nozzle. Fig. Q'is a vertical section of Fig. 1 on the line 2--2- Fig. 3 is a top view of the nozzle, showing the swinging cap of the nozzle opened, the seal broken and the pouring spout elevated. Fig. 4 is a vertical section on the line 4-4 `of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a horizontal'section on the line 5"-5of" Fig. 2.

In said drawing, A represents the can; B is the nozzle made withthe usual flat topped iange b, fitted to receive an annular flanged frame piece C and swinging cover C1 of a common type of seal, the framepiece of which is secured to the flat topped flange b bv the downwardly and inwardlv `turned lips c and the spring finger 01. In this frame C is secured a glazed paper disk D` and the annular paper gasket D1, while] in the cover C1 is also the yielding paper packing disk ory pad D2.

So far as thus\ described, the parts are,

' or may be, such as are-well known in the art.

Combinedv with the above described features is the peculiar pouring spout now to be described: A countersunk supplemental cover E, having a flange e is fitted tightly in the upper end of the nozzle B, a packing ring el being` interposed between the iiange of the nozzle and the flange of this suppleinentalcover to prevent leaks.A This cover E at the 4center is perforatedl and formed up withthe conical collar F, to receive the exe.sible, conical pouring 'spout G. Near the upperV end of' thisspout Gr is the lateral pouring oriiicerg and near the base is `formed the ventopening. g1. 'Io the top of the pouring spout is soldered the small cap IFI, have ing a hanging :flange It, which, when thev spout is lowered, fits snugly over the conical Specification of Letters llatent. l

collar F. The construction of the spout G,

the collar Fand the/'small cap H, is such that when the spout islowered into the can inthe position shown at Fig.` 2, the opening f through the supplementary cap E is tightly closed by the fitting of the flange 7L of the cap H over the collar F; and when the pouring spout is extended or raised into the position shown at Fig. 4, the lower end of said spout forms a tight lit with the conical collar F in such manner as to prevent'the escape or leakage of the contents of the can into the sealing part of the nozzle.

The operation is as follows: The can is to befilled through the open nozzle, after which the supplementary cover carrying the pouring spout is put in place and the seal is then applied on top of all and fastened, the frame piece of the seal serving/to secure the supplementary cover E tothe nozzle.A The parts should preferably be so adjusted, that when the seal is4 closed, asshown in Fig. 2, the glazed paper disk will come down into contact with the small cap H of the discharging spout and be pressed upon by the pad D2, so that this spout and the cover are held down when the swinging seal is closed. To open the package, the swinging coverA yC1 is swung out as shown in Fig. 4, carrying/'the pad D2 with it. The glazed paper seal'is then cut out at the margin of `the frame C,fleaving the small cap H extensible spout fitted to move through said` cover, said spout being conical. and fitting a conical opening in the cover formed with aV collar, the spoutbeing capped with a flanged cover to fit said collar, and provided with a lateral` pouring opening, substantially as specified. s

2. The combinationwith the nozzle, of a cover for the same, provided with an eX- tensible spout fittedto move through said cover, said spout being conical and fitting a conical opening'in the cover formed with a` collar, the spout being capped with a fianged coverto fit said collar, and rprovided with a lateral pouring opening located near the top of the spout and a vent opening ]ol O (f gin, a countersunk cover which protects the cated near the base of the spout, substantially as specified.

he combination With a can nozzle provided With a Swinging cover and a seal to be broken in opening the can, of a supplementary cover. .provided with an extensible pouring spout. closed .with a cap, upon the upper end of which the swinging seal cover bears when the same is closed, substantially as specified.

4'. The combination with av nozzle, of a closure therefor comprising an unbroken sealing disk having its margin permanently secured in lace, and having its middle portion sepa-ra le by disruption from said marsupplemental cover below the sealing disk, an extensible pouring spout mounted and vertically movable in an opening in the supplemental cover and having above the latter laterally extending means for closing the opening in the same, and a removable and replaceable exterior sealing disk and holds down the spout in its depressed closing position both before and after the midand fapremovable .l and replaceable dle portion 0f moved.

5. The combination with a nozzle, a supplemental cover having a marginal flange which engages on the top of the nozzle, an unbroken sealing disk having its margin arranged on the flange of the supplemental cover and having its middle portion separable by. disruption from said margin, meansl for permanently securing in place the margin of the sealing disk and the flange of the supplemental cover, an extensible pouring spout mounted and vertically movable in an opening in the supplemental cover and having means for engaging on the top of the supplemental cover when the spout is retracted,

exterior disk and the sealing disk has been recover which 'protects tligei sealin g holds down the said after the middle portion of tl'ie sealing disk has been removed.. .r`
